Out of the box, this is not going to be anyones main. The corner twists are easy and the corner cutting is bad. The cube does have glossy plastic, but it also comes with manufacturing marks. However, this cube has potential if you are willing to set it up and take care of it. If you lube it then it will have a drastic increase in corner cutting. WHAT lube you put in does not really matter much (but the lube you put in will affect the speed and feel), it is WHERE you put it. Be sure to put lube between the corners, but also between the internal edges and centers. Even though the cube does not come with a screwdriver (as most cubes do) you should tension it so that it can have less corner twisting while retaining a good amount of corner cutting. Some cubes are very specific with the lubes you use, but this cube will react positively to anything. Because of the fact that any lube will work well, you do not have to clean it out as often as you would other 2x2s. Do I think you should get this cube? The answer depends. If you are a beginner or intermediate solver who is on a budget, or if you aren't the best at setting up your cubes you should get this. If you are somebody who is more advanced at solving, or if you do not like setting things up, you should not get this, there are better cubes out there for you. Overall I love this cube, and I think you will to, but it does need setup to become that wonder.
